    This was a marquee game last year. This year it feels like the dance of the desperates and we're only in week 3

      I am seriously buggered if I know which way to go for picks this week!! Heart obviously says Canes, but head is saying, perhaps Blues will click into gear at some stage. Could they play that dumb again? I see Jipper on Aotearoa even pointed out same as me, last week they had no forwards on field, yet they threw to where Holland was jumping. And the Clan had their few lifters there!!!

        Regression to the mean says highly unlikely.

          Injuries have really hit the Canes, that bench particularly is very weak… the Blues surely can’t be so poor three weeks in a row (can they?)

              was interesting seeing the TV1 report on this game and they said how this game last year was the top 2 teams, now the bottom, and it is odd, particularly for the Blues who have added BB since last year...

                The nz rugby media still think it's 2017 when it comes to Beauden

                  So do both of the most recent two abs coaches. In fact the previous coach still thought it was 2015, full stop

                    I think BB is only a ten at this stage of his career, not attacking enough at the back and his kicking last week cost us at least two trys, was poor.

                    Forbes was a key cog for our success last year, I'd try him out at fullback, and Sullivan when fit. BB to the bench

                      His kicking was poor, so you advise moving him a position where he will kick more?

                      Beauden is now entirely a fullback, and an out of form one at that.

                          These yellow seats are brutal. Would love it if Wellington had a smaller stadium closer to the action that the Canes and Lions could play in.

                            Blues don't look a happy camp.

                                  2 penalties under advantage perfect opportunity to give your backs a free go and you keep going through the forwards
                                  Then you get sacked at the lineout drive ..seriously!

                                      No fucking way Shields came through the middle. He clearly changed his bind.

                                          Haha bumbling Blues are a good way to describe them this season

                                          They genuinely look like wooden spoon contenders this year
